boiled
Not extremely sure I understand the context.
However, boiled down is usually used to explain how to thicken a sauce. This implies evaporation of liquid.
I have heard "Boil up" used very colloquially. "I'm gonna boil me up some noodles tonight"

: 'the'unnecessary. boiled culture-medium', probably to sterilise it. It wouldn't be denatured, but might have to be boiled in any case for all treatments, as well as the control. It may (possibly) need to be heated to be poured into petri dishes anyway.
